Finally, I Crush Impossible Baal with no lose

[wurenben]

I spent 2 days fighting Impossible Baal using my mage with poor equipments, even no "Turn time back" spell in the whole game.

I tried many types of troop, as last I chose Lizardman army.

Main Tank:Brontus
His job is attacking baal and getting hit. High defence, high HP,even a spiked skin make it a great tank.Adding avenger angel can be more powerful.
With Lv3 Stone skin, Divne shield, plus mage shield, can minimize baal's damage to 500 or less.

Main Dder:Gorguls
Two blocks attack, and re-action after killing an enemy(plus frenzy) make it a great dder in Baal fight.

Distant Dder:Gorguanas

Protector: Arch Mage

Supporter: Paladin


Important Equipments:

Singing Dagger: +5 attack +15% lizardman attack

Claws of K'Tahu: +7 attack +1 initiative and morale of lizardman

Scaly bracelet: +10 mana +2 morale of lizardman

Pilgram's Boots: +1 speed to slowest troop

I killed baal in 10 rounds, then spent 2 round recovering armies.

Here is my screenshot of this game, the 1st is a failure, Gilbert's troops killed baal's minion when I was recovering armies.

I'm using Red Dragon-Oil-Phantom-Burning tactics when fighting most of enemies.

And to think I already have trouble playing this game of normal/medium difficulty.

I'll give it a new go when I get Crossworlds.

I love this game, it's one of my top 5 games of all times. And reading things like this makes me love it even more!

This is a totally different tactic than I've used, and it works well. I love how every person playing uses and figured out their own way of beating the game, and just how many combinations and tricks you can use.

I also love the perfect ammount of randomization, forcing you to change your tactics/troops based on what's available and where you are in the game.

Also, I will try out some of the things you wrote here in my current game:)

Awwww i remember my first impos/no loss with fond memories :-P
Gj man, with your game. You finished just in time to get some rest before Warrior of the North arrive (we hope without delays). But one question - why Trig companion ??? Agraves/Gaudi would be great, since you didnt go high int with Elenhel. And check because i`m not sure : stone skin + divine armor, doesnt stack physical res i think.
But if you want to try new playthrough for CW try Warrior with orc army + Trigger 100% crit, it`s hilarious : kill Baal in 3 rounds goblins 50k+ crits and so on ...
Have fun in future games :-)

[wurenben]

Yes I chose Trigger just before Bhaal fight, I need the hemlet (Elven Crown) and boots (Pilgram's Boots) both.
This video was recorded last year, I just remembered there is a forum here :mrgreen:
I did have Crossworlds, the no lose campaign was finished before CW. I can ensure those spells stock each other, Arch Mage's shield , Stone Skin and Divine armor, please check the video

My first impossible in AP was so easy ... Blacknight Stomp. It was so hilarious i could stomp Nameless when i board to verona

[Fatt_Shade]

I know that spells do stack, but physical res doesnt 9or it`s just my bugged game). Every time i cast stone skin + divine shield, total phys res isn`t right. Just example : paladin basic p.res 30% , medals guardian angel +9% , stone skin +40% , i cast divine armor 3rd lvl +30% and my paladin have 75% p.res instead 95% (max possible as it should with all bonus effects), rest of his resistances are OK, except physical :-( This goes for all other units i cast stone skin + divine armor.
And why did you need pilgrim`s boots ? +1 speed for brontors not so useful if you ram them in first turn and then spend battle just retaliating with them. But your choice ofc.

@Elwin Did you try RSE, solo malestrom stomp with warrior ? It even more hilarious then blackknigh version, with 3side attack, and bonus retaliation from class skill it stops being funny after you get more then 5 of them in stack.

Thanks a lot!!!! I couldn't manage to defeat Baal in hard mode as a mage until I used your strategy, I was pretty alright thoughout the game until I met Baal, I did not realised that lizard men can be so powerful like this.
